"... One of the best established empirical results in international economics is that bi-lateral trade decreases with distance. Although well-known, this result has not been systematically analyzed before. We examine 1467 distance effects estimated in 103 pa-pers. Information collected on each estimate a ..."

allows us to test hypotheses about the causes of variation in the estimates. Our most interesting finding is that the estimated negative impact of distance on trade rose around the middle of the century and has remained persistently high since then. This result holds even after controlling for many

durable solutions. Second, interventions that lower the expense of maintaining camps can actually postpone resolution. Third, the involvement of a third party in the bargaining process increases the likelihood of camps persisting as the status quo. Finally, the probability of achieving a durable solution

"... The central puzzle in international business cycles is that real exchange rates are volatile and persistent. The most popular story for real exchange rate fluctuations is that they are generated by monetary shocks interacting with sticky goods prices. We quantify this story and find that it can acco ..."

"... Choice, active response, self-regulation, and other volition may all draw on a common inner resource. In Experiment 1, people who forced themselves to eat radishes instead of tempting chocolates subsequently quit faster on unsolvable puzzles than people who had not had to exert self-control over eat ..."

"... This paper has two roles in this collection. First, it illustrates Exploratory Practice (EP) in action, with two classroom investigations. Secondly, it goes further, and throws light on the key mechanism of EP (see Allwright, this issue, Sections III.1(d) and IV.2) – puzzlement. It thus presents tw ..."

two different puzzling processes, the EP process as set out in the introductory paper to this issue, and a meta-process of puzzling about our own puzzlement processes. First, we carried out separate research studies as EP practitioners, with one of us investigating the puzzle, ‘does the dictionary
